Possibly because some of those bands are influenced by classical music (though I mean it’s rather broad; you could probably trace most musical influences back to the classical period).

Right now the app is suggesting a Classical Piano playlist to me. I have never listened to classical piano. Ever. Most recently I’ve listened to Tool, Rage Against the Machine and a 90’s metal playlist (I’m on a 90’s kick). Why on earth would it think I want classical piano?

If only it were that clever. I think it’s because their algorithm sees: person listens to 90’s music so person = old, old people like classical piano.
In the same way that I very occasionally play Jason Isbell and after I do so it starts throwing yeehaw-big trucks-and-gurls-in-cutoff-shorts country music at me for months afterwards.

Oh fuck my hip, 90s is old now?

I died inside when I saw stuff I listened to in high school on “classic rock” playlists.

"Radio plays the same 20 songs over and over and over again. "
So just like traditional radio stations then. ☹️
I swear, we are stuck in a loop where shitty solutions just get reinvented over and over again. And most times when sometime comes up with a genuine improvement, those in power say “oh no no no! That won’t do!” and kill it. I’m Gen-X and it’s been this way all my life. And probably for many generations before that too.
